WHERE ARE THEY NOW? All the players and picks from the infamous Celtics-Nets trade that reshaped the NBA
The Nets had decided to go all in for the upcoming season and traded a slew of draft picks and players for three veterans they hoped would be the final pieces to a championship team. The Nets did make the playoffs as the fifth seed in 2014, but were bounced from the playoffs in the second round by LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
Eight months after that playoff series, all three veteran players would be gone and little did anybody know at the time of the trade, the Nets would turn into one of the worst teams in the NBA. As a result, the draft picks given to the Celtics would routinely land near top of the draft, and in one instance, as the No. 1 overall pick.
Four years later, the Celtics just used the final piece from that trade, giving the Cleveland Cavaliers the final first-round pick as part of the deal to land Kyrie Irving.
In all, 15 players and picks were exchanged in the orignal deal. Below we take a look at what happened to all those players.
